Default Vote Often

I registered 25 votes today. Way above my initial goal. I just rode through the shopping malls I was at today and voted each time I hooked to a different WiFi hotspot. It's easy, quick and FUN. Can't wait to do it again. 10th spot IS NOT OUT OF REACH

It's Missy Marrs by a head over Suki Avery but the real question is are we gonna get Lyn into 10th place. It looks like Missy had an unbelievable push in the last 24 hours. We need to do the same for Lyn. Get out there and VOTE VOTE VOTE.

Default Do it Now... vote now... last day

If you have not voted for Carolyn before... vote now. Let's all use the power of our Winnipesaukee community here to send her to the Kentucky Derby.

Too bad we didn't discover this earlier! My son just noticed that if you double click on the vote button, it seems to record 2 votes. Maybe that's how the Top 10 got the votes they have!

The good news is I estimate we are well within the top 141. We'll know for sure tomorrow.

Default Top 141

MM,

I hope she makes into the the top 141. I just voted for the last time (voted from home earlier today) and then I read your post about double clicking on the vote button. DARN!!!

I'm sure you'll let us know either way.

The 1st/2nd place are averaging about a vote per second. To me that sounds very fishy and I hate to say it but they are probably gaming the IP scheme through various methods.

Either way I've been voting Carolyn and I really hope she has the opportunity to attend!

The list is up! We finished as #27. Looks like we are going to Kentucky!

Words cannot express how grateful we are to everyone who helped make this possible, a large number being members of this forum.

I can assure you that there will be pictures and other posts about our experience.

Once again, thank you so much!

I have to admit I was really concerned about where Lyn would finish. The front runners were clearly way out there and we saw the #10 position change hands nearly every day during the last week. That just shows how close the lower finishers were in votes. However, Lyn made it in grand style. Congratulations Lyn and have a fantastic time at the festivities.

Thumbs up Larger celebration here, also..

While we celebrate seeing Carolyn (Lyn) Sullivan earning the opportunity to go to the Kentucky Derby, let's all take a moment and celebrate the fact that there are 140 other winners who are beating or have beat cancer and now have also won the opportunity to the Derby.

A special Hooray for Lyn, but a big congrats to the others as well.

Well done, Ladies.

Hello All,

We are in the starting gate and scheduled to leave for Kentucky in the AM. Lyn has her hat, her dress, and her boots. She’s ready for the Derby / Oaks!

For those who have asked, the Survivor’s Parade will be televised/streamed on the NBC Sports Network (www.nbcsports.com, channel 781 on Metrocast). The telecast starts at 12:30 PM and goes until 6:15 PM. The Survivor’s Parade is scheduled to start just before the Oaks race, at about 4:55 PM.

The race on Friday is the Kentucky Oaks. From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_Oaks
“The Oaks and the Derby are the oldest continuously contested sporting events in American history, and the only horse races to be held at their original site since their conception.”

“The Kentucky Oaks is considered by some to be among the most popular horse races in American horse-racing society due to its high attendance. The attendance at the Kentucky Oaks ranks third in the continent and usually surpasses the attendance of all other stakes races including the Belmont Stakes and the Breeders' Cup. The attendance of the Kentucky Oaks typically only trails the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes”
So I guess we’ll be in front of a good crowd! Pictures when we return.

Thanks again to all who helped make this possible!

Looks like I have to change my schedule so I can watch Lyn on the TV.

Well worth the change though.

Good luck, cause I know you'll have money on the race, and have a great time Lyn. Glad we could help you have your dream.

Disappointing to hear that NBC did not show any part of the parade. But if you watch closely and quickly, you can catch a glimpse of Lyn at the 1:32 mark in this news report (right behind the guy with the blue coat)

I normally don't want the spotlight, but I'm making an exception as I'm hoping for some help from my long-time, forum friends.

My wife, Lyn, has always dreamed of attending The Kentucky Derby. There is an opportunity for her to do so in a way that would have incredible meaning for her. But it requires votes...lots of them. Hence my request for help.

You can read her story here, http://survivors.kentuckyderby.com/survivors/1863

If you are so moved, I'd ask you to help by voting early and often. It appears it will take a lot of votes to be considered. Feel free to forward or share far and wide. You can vote every day.

Make it a part of your routine. Shower, coffee, and vote for Lyn! They track the votes by IP address, so you can actually vote twice (or more!) if you vote from home, work, coffee shop, etc.

And thanks in advance to any who vote, whether we make it or not.

What a beautiful photo of Lyn on the front page of The Baysider! So happy to see her be part of the 141 breast cancer survivors shining at Churchill Downs. Congratulations !!!

Thanks for all the nice comments. As we had hoped, this was a trip of a lifetime, and we couldn't have done it without all of you.

I've posted some long-overdue photos in the Photopost Gallery. Also a short video clip here, https://youtu.be/bglIHYXAZko

There were many from these forums who had similar family stories. Who's going next year? We could make it an annual event to send someone from the Winni forums!

Boots - she walked into Tractor Supply in Rochester just before the trip, saw the boots with the pink horses, and knew she'd found the right ones (they recommended that the ladies bring boots for walking on the track.

As for the guy, he found the hat next door at Walmart!

Default Another forum member?

Two years ago, thanks in large part to the members of this forum, we realized a life-long dream of attending the Kentucky Derby in a very meaningful, special way. While it was a trip of a lifetime, and will be in our memories forever, once was enough for us.

But the process is starting this year for others to have the opportunity. Perhaps the forum can send another deserving member?
